[San Paolo]

leaked Milan 2011/12 home shirt?

[Rory Hanna]

I quite like Milan's potential new kit - it reminds me of the Milan of the Sacchi and Capello era.

[San Paolo]

[p_maldini_3]

it is a bit retro, but we always have some 'potential' new shirts show up for the next season, and none of them ever get it right. so i doubt it'll be the new shirt.

[Rory Hanna]

Why yes I am! Well, I did a couple of articles before I moved to forzaitalianfootball.com. I really like both websites but Forza offered more experience as part of a proper writing team, though I am planning on writing an article on BackPageFootball about Sheffield United soon. Are you Rich Chambers by any chance?

I reckon Milan will either draw or lose the derby. The momentum is with Inter and they have more options up front. I have a feeling that Robinho and maybe Pato are going to fail to deliver in a really big game.

[RomaShield27]

Rich Chambers? lol, no, but you got me curious. Done a quick search and found his , fucker sounds like me alright. Doesn't he know I'm the only long-suffering Roma fan from Dublin? The fookin cheek. Who the feck is he?!

I'm familiar with forzaitalianfootball.com but not as much as BPF. Seems ok. Your articles are good, how did you get involved with them? I see you're a Palermo fan – not much a Palermo influence around these parts, but I guess you'd be doing well to find many outside of Sicily. How did you come to support them?

I think Inter are defo the favourites for the Derby and a draw would be a good result for Milan. Just hope they dont actually go out and play for the draw which would ruin the game, but knowing Allegri he'll probably play 8 defensive-midfielders and do just that.

[p_maldini_3]

welcome to the forums rory, good to have another member.

tell us a little about yourself and how you found our forum?

anyhow, there hasn't been a derby draw for over 6 years, and the past few derbies have all generated a red card or two. i also think that momentum is on inter's side, but i have that small hope that somebody will step up in such a big game. hopefully pato.

[RomaShield27]

Pato looks like he may be about to get back to his best alright. He could be your match winner, but I think defense is your best plan of attack (even though it would ruin the game, speaking as a neutral).

Although maybe Ibra will step up for yis in this big game. I know he's suspended, like, but seriously, whats the difference with that and all the other big games he's played for yis?

[p_maldini_3]

if its an open game, i would expectus to take it. but we have to be careful of inter's counterattacks, i think they are one of the best counterattackng teams in europe so we must be careful.

[RomaShield27]

With so little between the sides and the pack chasing, the derby will not be decisive but that makes it all the more fascinating
